Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer

Advantages of the Computerin Teaching and Learning

Lucido and Borabo (1997)gave the following

advantages of usingthe computer:

1.It allows students to learn at

their own pace by having control

over the rate and sequence of

learning.

2. Learning is reinforced by the way of high speed personalized response.

3. There is a positive affective climate for learning especially for slow learners.

4. Color, music and animated graphics add realism and appeal to drill exercises, laboratory activities, simulations and others.

5. Progress in learning is easily monitored with the records keeping ability for computers.

6. Massive information is put at the disposal of the teacher; information which he can control as she keeps contact with the learner.

7. Other benefits relating to: motivated work improves efficiency, broader memory capacity, time savings compared with conventional modes of learning.

Disadvantages of Computer in Teaching and

Learning

(Lucido & Borabo, 1997)

 

1.Computerized instruction is

relatively expensive. The cost

and benefits must be assessed

to ensure optimal gains.

2. There is some lag in the production and design of computers not readily available and may require compatibility due to exclusiveness of some educational programs or software.

COMPUTER ETHICS AND USER RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Growing Internet and computer use has caused copyright infringement and intellectual property issues to explode onto the legal scene. Now more than ever, it is important to understand basic intellectual property and copyright principles. The following information is provided to help you understand these concepts. It is not a substitute for legal advice.

Copyright Issues and Fair Use Guidelines

What is Copyright?

It is a form of protection provided by laws to the authors of original works, otherwise known as the owners of intellectual property.

This material must be an original work of authorship and there must be a certain level of creativity in the expression of the idea.

The expression of the idea can be copyrighted, not the idea itself.

 

Getting sources from a copyrighted material must be guided with the following guidelines:

Text Up to 10% of a copyrighted work or

1000 words, whichever is less

Poems Entire poem if less than 250 words

250 words or less if longer poem No more than 5 poems (or excerpts)

of different poets, from an anthology Only 3 poems (or excerpts) per poet

Motion Media Up to 10% of a copyrighted work

or 3 minutes, whichever is less

Clip cannot be altered in any way

Illustrations A photograph or illustration may be

used in its entirety

No more than 5 images of an artist's or photographer's work When using a collection, no more than 10% or no more than 15 images, whichever is less

Music Up to 10% of a copyrighted musical

composition, but no more than 30 seconds

Up to 10% of a body of sound recording, but no more than 30 seconds

Any alterations cannot change the basic melody or the fundamental character of the work

 

Numerical Data Sets Up to 10% or 2,500 fields or cell

entries, whichever is less, from a copyrighted database or data table.

What is Fair Use?

Fair Use is the partial or limited reproduction of another's work that is permitted under the copyright law. The distinction of fair use and infringement is now clear and defined because there is no specific number of words, lines, or notes prescribed by law that may be safely taken without permission.

FAIR USE GUIDELINES IDENTIFIES SEVERAL CONSIDERATIONS SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING:

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such a use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation

to the copyrighted work as a whole; and 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value

of the copyrighted work.

SIMPLY RESTATING FACTS DOES NOT MAKE A WORK COPYRIGHTABLE. THREE ISSUES DETERMINE IF MATERIAL IS SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PROTECTION: 

1. Does the nature of the material lend itself to copyright protection?

2. Is the material in the public domain? 3. Would the new use of the material be

considered fair use?

THE (10) TEN COMMANDMENTS OF COMPUTER ETHICS

1. Thou shalt not use the computer to harm other people.

2. Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer.

3. Thou shalt not snoop from other people's files.4. Thou shalt not use the computer to steal.5. Thou shalt not use the computer to bear false

witness.

6. Thou shalt not copy a software for which you have not paid.

7. Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization.

8. Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual property.

9. Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write.

10. Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show considerations and respect

Since the birth of internet, most of us were amazed of its capabilities and vast coverage. It has been used in business, education, information technology, research, advertisement and in all other areas of discipline to introduce, inform and communicate to people. It is based upon the purpose and interest of the user.

 

Internet Tools and Educational Applications

In education, internet is used for communication, collaboration and sharing of ideas. Students and teachers create discussion using technology. It is based on the theory of constructivism that people learn constructively through others and the learner creates new idea out of and using other inputs, developing one's learning through the use of an instructional tool called Computer-based instruction.

Commonly used social networking sites include friendster, facebook, multiply, myspace, flicker and the like. These are networking sites where people are connected through networks. In this kind of networking site, uploading of data files, file sharing, creation of group can be done.

Web 2.0 tools for learning is useful in organizing, gathering of information, communicating to experts, sharing of ideas and collaborating with peers such as students and teachers in the classroom. Web 2.0 tools includes blogs, wikis, social bookmarking sites and social networking sites.

 Commonly used social bookmarking sites were

diggo.com, digg.com and delicious.com. These sites allow users to store and retrieve previously visited website, organize web resources according to specific group name and build and create groups. In this kind of tool also, people can also share their bookmarked pages to people and allow others to view it as it is being shared.

Web logs or simply Blogs are peoples' online diary entry where personal experiences and professional experiences are being shared. In this kind of social networking site, opinion, personal perspectives, insights and theories are stated. As they have said that we have the freedom to write anything but with total care. Bloggers, people who create stories, are found of writing up significant details about a certain thing. These social networking sites include 21classes.com,bloggers.com, ebloggers.com, whiteboards.com and the like. Students use blogs to share their thoughts and ideas of a certain situation or experience. Teachers use blogs as a means of enhancing skills in writing, build up students targets higher order level of thinking and respond to issues and problems in a more comprehensive manner. Most teachers use blogs to identify, evaluate and determines cognitive development online. It has been used in distance education where it facilitates learning using educational technologies.

 

IV. Laboratory Activities Activity: Now that you are aware of the

capabilities of the internet you are going to apply what you've learned from it by locating resources that answers the questions below:

 1. Who is Thales?2. What was his great contribution in the field

of mathematics, specifically in geometry?3. What is the application in our daily living? 

Wikis are web authoring tools that allow teachers to create their and personalized websites for classroom use and students to show their progress. It includes wik.is, google web, myspace.com and the like. Teachers took advantage of using wiki as a strategy because it makes learning more interactive, enables online collaboration and gathers new ideas from other peoples perspective.

  Teachers' application on the use of computer and internet is by

creating an online treasurehunt and webquest which are IT based instructional material. This type of activities will develop students interest, motivate them, help them master the subject matter, enable them to understand and comprehend more on its application and eventually let them became significant in finding good, well-discussed, well-organized and reliable source to be used.

 

LOCATING RESOURCES AND CITING REFERENCES: 1. Open a web browser (i.e. Mozilla

firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape, etc.)

2. Using a web browser, type in address bar a search engine or portal such as www.google.com, www.askjeeves.com, www.dogpile.com., www.hotbot.com, www.msn.com, www.yahoo.com

3. In the search box, type the word “Thales”. Then click the search button or press the enter key.

Consider these questions: How much research result did the

search engine give you? Is the result relevant to what you are

looking for?

4. If you think it's too many, use the word “and” or “+” between word as a connector. ex. Erastosthenes and history.

Consider this Question: How much result did the search engine gave you?

How did it minimize your search? If you think it is still too many to find out what you are

looking for, do step 3 again and add another word to the string of word. ex. “Erastosthenes and history and contributions”.

Consider this Question: How much result did the search engine help you find? Did it minimize your search? Do you think there is a

difference after doing step 3 and step 4?

5. Now, open one of the links by left-clicking it.

Look at the website and consider the following questions:

What makes a website reliable, valid and appropriate to use?

Does the site give you enough information about your search?

6. If you think not all of the questions were answered, do the next step.

7. Click the back arrow icon on the left side of the address bar. Then click another link to open another page.

8. Do step 6 until you'll have the answers to the questions.

9. What other information are needed in citing references?

a) __________________________ b) __________________________ c) __________________________ d) __________________________ 9. Open a word processing. Save the

document as citing reference. 10. Type citation of your reference following

this format: <author of page>.<title of the web page>, <URL>. <date accessed>.
